Neil - ref - "Could anyone tell me if two brothers were serving in the army,
could the elder brother 'Claim' him and subsequently have him serve in the
same unit ?."

This is covered by King's Regulations For The Army (1/8/14 update) paragraph
333(iv) "Special Instructions" (Army Order 340 of 1913). - The simple answer
is "yes", though there were of course various conditions and provisos -
under certain circumstances the transfer could also be made the other way
round and the elder brother could transfer to the younger brother's unit.
